When going to a light to stop you should always switch to a lower gear. This will give you engine braking which will slow your car down a bit and will also save on pad replacements.

Coasting down a hill in neutral is illegal

You can coast as long as you'd like in neutral. the clutch isn't being used when you're in neutral. However, it is better to downshift for safety reasons

You should have full control of your vehicle’s forward movement (gas and brake) at a moments notice in case of an emergency.
